STEERING
I RENTED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN FT. LAUDERDALE, FL. CAR HAD ABOUT 5,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON I-95, THE CAR SWERVED TO THE LEFT. STEERING WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM DID NOT REPEAT ITSELF ON THE RETURN TRIP LATER THAT DAY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2010 COROLLA AT TOYOTA CITY, MAMARONECK, NY ON 8/31/09. I FELT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING MECHANISM, A STRANGE FEELING IN THE BRAKES, HEARD A NOISE IN STEERING WHEEL, AND A STRANGE FEELING IN THE WAY THE CAR RODE IMMEDIATELY WHEN TURNING AND BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/5/09. I DID NOT BRING IT BACK RIGHT AWAY DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, AND I FELT MAYBE I NEEDED TO GET USED TO THE CAR. I HAD A 2003 COROLLA BEFORE, AND THIS CAR FELT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN ITS RIDE. NOT AS TIGHT A RIDE. ON 10/5/09 THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP ALL DAY AND THEY FOUND IT HAD WARPED ROTORS AND NEEDED NEW BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR'S BRAKES MAYBE HAD GOTTEN WET SITTING IN THE RAIN, WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I FELT THAT WAS VERY ODD ON A BRAND NEW CAR, AND WITH ITS PREDELIVERY INSPECTING THIS WAS MISSED. THEY COVERED THE REPAIR. I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN AND BROUGHT IT BACK ON 10/19/09. THERE WAS STILL THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS TIME THEY BALANCED THE TIRES. AGAIN, NOT CLEAR WHY THEY DID NOT DO THIS BEFORE. I STILL HEARD A NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FELT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A TIGHT DRIVING FEEL. THEY TOLD ME TO LIVE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM. IT WAS HOW THE POWER ASSIST SYSTEM WORKED IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING FEELS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM MY 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. I HAVE FELT THE BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND WELL, AND PULSATE ON ENGAGEMENT, AND I FEEL THE CAR STILL MOVES FORWARD, WHEN TRYING TO STOP. ON 1/23/10 I HIT A DEER. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE A LOT OF DEER AND FOR 18 YEARS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP AND NEVER HIT ONE. NOT SURE WHAT WENT WRONG HERE. ON 2/5/10, GREEN TREE TOYOTA IN DANBURY, CT TEST DROVE MY CAR FOR THE BRAKES. SAID THEY WERE FINE. I FEEL I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE LIKE I DID WITH OTHER TOYOTAS AND FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND STEERING. *TR

STEERING
CAR REQUIRES EXCESSIVE STEERING CORRECTIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS IN MY LIFE. THIS BRAND NEW 2010 COROLLA WANDERS LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL VERY VERY TIGHT AND BE CONTINUOUSLY CORRECTING THE STEERING. DEALER SERVICES SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BUT THERE IS NOTHING NORMAL ABOUT THIS! *TR

STEERING
SOON AFTER PURCHASING, I NOTICED THE CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT. STEERING WAS NOT AS GOOD AS MY OLD CAR. BACKING UP FROM MY GARAGE IS WOBBLY INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT BACK. AFTER SEEING OTHERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY 2010 COROLLA PURCHASED OCT. 2, 2009. *TR

STEERING
MY 2010 COROLLA HAS HAD A STEERING PROBLEM SINCE ITS PURCHASE. IN 50 YEARS OF DRIVING IN OVER 25 NEW VEHICLES, IT IS THE WORST. IT WILL NOT TRACK PROPERLY AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. IT WANDERS RANDOMLY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. NOT ALIGNMENT AND NOT WIND CAUSED. YOU MUST MAKE SMALL CORRECTIONS EVERY SECOND OR TWO TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE. PASSING OTHER VEHICLES AT HIGHWAY SPEED IS RISKY. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED ON I-95 THE DAY I TOOK THE CAR HOME. MY WIFE DID NOT NOTICE IT WHEN SHE DRIVES UNDER 50MPH; BUT IS VERY EVIDENT AT 65-75MPH. IT IS VERY TIRING TO DRIVE THE CAR SINCE YOU MUST REMAIN TOTALLY FOCUSED WITH A FIRM GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL TIMES SINCE YOU MUST RESPOND TO THE CAR'S RANDOM VEERS TO ONE OR THE OTHER SIDE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE. I CAN SEE WHERE AN ACCIDENT WOULD BE VERY POSSIBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN PASSING OR TRAVELING WITH OTHER VEHICLES TO YOUR LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MUST BE CORRECTED, ALONG WITH THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. I HAD PLANNED TO COMPLAIN TO MY TOYOTA DEALER IN ORANGEBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA WHEN I TOOK MY COROLLA IN FOR THE ACCELERATOR RECALL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS I HAVE OWNED TOYOTAS BEFORE AND, UNTIL THIS MONTH, WAS PLANNING TO BUY A 2011 TOYOTA TRUCK. THE STEERING PROBLEM IS REAL AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND CORRECTED. *TR

STEERING
I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MONDAY 2/15/2010, FROM DICK MILHAM TOYOTA IN EASTEN P.A. THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING, AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH YOU REALLY NEED TWO HANDS TO STEER THE CAR. I TRAVEL OVER 192 MILES A DAY AND IM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS. I AM GOING TO SPEAK WITH THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK, I HOPE YOU ARE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THESE PROBLEMS AND FORCE TOYOTA TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

STEERING
AFTER READING ABOUT THE TOYOTA COROLLA STEERING PROBLEMS, I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT OF MY OWN. I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM OF FEELING LIKE WIND WHIPPING MY CAR AROUND ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST DAILY SINCE I LEASED MY NEW 2010 COROLLA IN NOVEMBER 2009. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE WAY THE LOS ANGELES AREA ROADS ARE PAVED BUT AFTER READING OTHER OWNERS' SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE NEWS, I AM SURE THAT THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING ME TO FEEL LIKE I HAVE DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING MY CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

AS NOTED ON THE NEWS ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL ABOUT THE STEERING PROBLEMS ON THE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I ALSO OWN A 2010 COROLLA AND EVEN BEFORE THE NEWS I HAD PROBLEMS KEEPING THE CAR STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. THE CONDITION GETS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND THE PROBLEM INCREASES WHEN THERE IS LESS GAS IN THE TANK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO CHECK/FIX THE ALIGNMENT AND IT SEEMS TO HELP A LITTLE BIT BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. *TR

STEERING
THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA MAKES THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT, STRESSFUL AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 65 MPH ANY SLIGHT HAND MOVEMENT ON THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSES THE CAR TO VEER SOMETIMES SHARPLY MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR INSIDE YOUR LANE. IT STEERS JERKY LIKE A GO CART AND DOESN'T RETURN TO CENTER. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK THREE TIMES AND TOYOTA SAID THAT I'D HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. THEY FINALLY REALIGNED THE FRONT END, PHASE BALANCED THE TIRES, AND CENTERED THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ACTED LIKE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS PROBLEM AND THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD COMPLAINED, SAID I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA, BUT I HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET. *TR

STEERING
I RENTED A BRAND NEW (ONLY 350 MILES) 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM HERTZ AT THE ORLANDO AIRPORT ON OCTOBER 19, 2009 AND TURNED IT BACK INTO A HERTZ LOCATION IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA ON OCTOBER 23, 2009. I HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE CAR TO "TRACK". IT WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP GOING STRAIGHT AND FELT LIKE THERE WAS A STRONG CROSSWIND (WHICH THERE WASN'T). I TALKED WITH MY WIFE ABOUT THIS ON THAT TRIP, BUT REGRETFULLY, I DID NOT TELL THE HERTZ PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE NOTICED EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2009, WHEN BRAKING AND COMING TO A STOP, THE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FREQUENTLY SHUDDERS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL, ALTHOUGH IT HAS NOT YET STALLED. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER (IRA TOYOTA MANCHESTER) DURING 5K MILE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON 1-30-10 AND THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY HAVE HAD ABOUT A DOZEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM DIFFERENT OWNERS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NOTHING WAS DONE. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA COROLLA SPORT 2010. IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER STRAIGHT, VEHICLE GOES SIDE TO SIDE, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, ESPECIALLY IN HIGHWAYS. I WENT TO THE CAR DEALER (TOYOTA) TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE PEDAL AND THEY SAID THE IS WORKING ACCORDING HOW THE MANUFACTURE EXPECTS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
WHEN I WAS DRIVING OVER A POTHOLE OR UNEVEN GROUND LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THE BRAKES WOULD GRIND AND STOPPING WOULD NOT BE IMMEDIATE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WAS TOLD THAT NEW BRAKES OFTEN MAKE NOISES. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS FAR FROM A NORMAL NOISE. STILL, THEY ASSURED ME THE CAR WAS SAFE, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A LITTLE LESS THAN 5 MONTHS AND THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO GRIND OVER UNEVEN GROUND. IT WILL CONTINUE TO GRIND UNTIL I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, EVEN IF I AM NO LONGER ON UNEVEN GROUND. THE CAR WILL SLOW OVER THE UNEVEN GROUND, BUT WILL NOT STOP AS EXPECTED, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE. ALSO, YESTERDAY MORNING I STARTED HEARING A "TICK" SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT HAPPENS MOSTLY IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MULTIPLE INCIDENTS... THE THREE MOST RECENT OCCURRED ON 2/8, 2/10, AND 2/15 OF 2010. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, I FIGURED IT WAS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE AND NEEDED DRIVEN (BROKEN IN) SO THE BRAKES WOULD FIND THEIR BEST WORKING LEVELS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN DRIVING, AT ANY SPEED, AND IN ALL ROAD CONDITIONS. THE INCIDENT ON 2/8 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND ONLY GOING ABOUT 5-8 MPH. AS SHE MADE A TURN THE CAR PROCEEDED TO SHUTTER AND THE LOW TRACTION LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON, NO BRAKING WAS AVAILABLE DURING THIS INCIDENT, BUT LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. ON 2/10 I WAS GOING TO TAKE THIS CAR TO FINALLY HAVE THEM FIX THE PROBLEM AND IN (VERY SAFE) GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS I EXPERIENCED WHAT MY WIFE HAD EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE BETTER OF 6 MONTHS. AS YOU PROCEED TO COME TO A STOP THE CAR ACCELERATES UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS (I HAVE TESTED THIS) IF YOU KEEP THE PEDAL AT THE SAME POINT THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO SPEED UP SLOWLY, BUT IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR SEEMS TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED. NOW THIS IS WHERE MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR ANY LONGER, WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE FURTHER DOWN TO STOP IT LOCKS THE TIRES FOR ABOUT A SECOND BEFORE THE ABS EVEN KICKS IN. BEING THAT THIS IS A COLD AREA AND WE LIKELY HAVE SNOW DURING THE WINTER MONTHS I AM AMAZED THAT IF ANY OTHER COROLLA ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THEY ALL HAVE NOT SLID OFF THE ROAD. WHEN I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ON 2/10 I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT TO TOYOTA FOR SERVICE. NEVER MADE IT, DID NOT TRUST THE VEHICLE TO SAFELY GET ME TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT INJURY TO MYSELF, OTHERS, OR PROPERTY. THE LAST INCIDENT ON 2/15 WAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND AT THIS POINT MY WIFE WILL NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. THIS IS THE VEHICLE WE PURCHASED TO KEEP OUR NEWBORN SAFE... LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN A POOR CHOICE. I FINALLY RISKED MY LIFE AND TOOK IT TO TOYOTA TONIGHT, WE WILL SEE WHAT COMES OF THIS. THANKS *TR

STEERING, TIRES
I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON 11-7-2009. ON THE TEST DRIVE I COMPLAINED TO THE SALESMAN THAT THE STEERING FELT STRANGE. IT SEEMED TO HAVE A CENTER SPOT AND THEN ANY LEFT OR RIGHT TURN WOULD CAUSE A MINOR PULL EITHER DIRECTION AS IF THE STEERING TURNED ON. THE SALESMAN SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRIC STEERING ON ALL THE NEW CARS. THAT WAS A SLOW SPEED TEST DRIVE. AFTER THE PURCHASE I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS SHOCKED TO FEEL THE STEERING FEEL AS IF I WERE GOING AROUND A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER RIG AND BEING PUSHED AROUND BY THE WIND, BUT YET I WAS NOT NEAR A VEHICLE. IT SEEMED LIKE LOOSE STEERING OR TIRE SQUIRM. WHEN I GOT BACK FROM MY TRIP I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND ASKED IF THERE IS AN ADJUSTMENT ON THE POWER STEERING OR IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRES. TO BOTH QUESTIONS MY SERVICE ADVISOR SAID NO. ON ANOTHER TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE, IT ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FISH TAIL SWINGING BACK AND FORTH, LIKE I WAS RIDDING ON BALLOON TIRES, OR WITHOUT SIDEWALLS. I QUICKLY SLOWED DOWN. IN CROSS WINDS OR GOING AROUND A SEMI IT IS WORSE. AT MY 5,000 SERVICE, I ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY STEERING OR TIRE ISSUES, AND MY ADVISOR STILL SAID NO, BUT PART OF THE SERVICE WAS TO ROTATE THE TIRES, AND THIS HAS SEEMED TO LESSEN THE SQUIRM. I NOW HAVE 7,000 MILES ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S. *TR

STEERING, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, VISIBILITY
I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON OCT. 22, 2009. AT BITTERROOT MOTORS IN MISSOULA, MONTANA. THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I DROVE IT TO OVANDO, MONTANA, NORTH OF MISSOULA, ON A TRYOUT ROAD TRIP. I NOTICED THAT IT WAS FLIGHTY ON THE ROAD AND SEEMED TO WAVER WITHOUT REASON (NO WIND, NO SEMI TRUCKS, WIND SHEAR, RAIN, ETC). BEING A NEW CAR TO ME, I PASSED IT OFF AS THE NATURE OF A LIGHTER AND SMALLER VEHICLE THAN WHAT I WAS ACCUSTOMED TO DRIVING (MY OTHER VEHICLE IS A 2004 FORD F150). SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE CONTINUALLY EXPERIENCED THIS WITH NO EXTERNAL EXPLANATION (IE: WEATHER, ROAD CONDITIONS, ETC). THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH AND OVER AND IT IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE. I COMMUTE REGULARLY BETWEEN STEVENSVILLE, MT., AND MISSOULA, MT., FOR WORK (28 MILES ONE WAY), AND I OFTEN FIND THAT THE CAR WILL DRIFT LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN I AM AT A STEADY SPEED. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST OF RECALLS FOR THE RECENT ACCELERATOR ISSUE. I NEED TO ADD HERE THAT THE SECOND DAY AFTER BUYING THE CAR, I WAS GETTING FUEL AND AS I TURNED FROM THE PUMP TO RE-ENTER THE CAR, "POP!!" AND THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW TOTALLY SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER AT BITTERROOT MOTORS AND DROVE IT TO THEIR SERVICE DEPT TO GET IT FIXED. THEY REPLACED THE WINDOW UNDER WARRANTY, AND TOLD ME THEY SUSPECTED IT WAS A PREEXISTING STRESS FRACTURE IN THE GLASS THAT FINALLY GAVE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BASED ON SAFETY RATINGS, CONSUMER REPORTS RATINGS, AND TO GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE ON MY NECESSARY TRIPS TO AND FROM WORK. IT ISN'T HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE STRESS OF THIS SITUATION, NOT TO MENTION ECONOMIC HARDSHIP. I PAID FOR THE CAR OUTRIGHT ($18,075) AND IT PHYSICALLY SICKENS ME TO THINK THAT SUCH SERIOUS ISSUES EXIST. I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED IT 5 MONTHS! AT THIS POINT I AM FEARFUL OF EVEN DRIVING THE CAR. IF THE WORLD WORKED IN GOOD WAYS, TOYOTA WOULD REPLACE THIS VEHICLE COMPLETELY, AND PREFERABLY WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN ANOTHER TOYOTA. *TR
